CivilnetDiane Barber, Professor in the Department of Cell and Tissue Biology at the University of California, San Francisco, sat down with CivilNet on the sidelines of the Armenian Society of Fellows conference in Dilijan, Armenia, to discuss plans to establish three research corps in Armenia. Her research has focused partly on cell behaviours, and has given insight into the various processes pertaining to cancer cells and stem cells. According to Barber, there is plenty of talent among young Armenian students, but the technologies, infrastructure and facilities are not up to international standards. Barber explains how exactly these new corps will allow Armenian students and researchers to reach their full potential and tap into new opportunities.
